Software for a local iGoogle / NetvibesDocumentation has been updated. If you use a bundled version (e.g. the tomcat bundle) installation is no more than unzipping and starting up. There's even a demo application that will be running this way. Login is through clicking a link on the homepage of your new demo installation. Once you get rid of the demo content there's an initial standard account. If you don't want to depend on a third party, you'll most likely have to invest some work (or money). Liferay has a learning curve, but it's certainly doable.

IT pitfalls in moviesThanks for the comments. Note the links that I've added to the post - this made my day :) ... As I said, I promise not to forget again...

What steps should I take to secure Tomcat 6.x?I usually add the chmod and chown stuff to the startup (init) script, as it runs as root. I've been bitten several times by people "helping out" starting tomcat as root, leading to files and directories to belong to root and not writable for the tomcat user once restarted properly. Did you miss "sudo chown tomcat:tomcat temp work" in your list? Or have I missed something?

Multiple private SSL certificates on a single shared hosting plan?Thanks David for answering the first question - I've been gone shortly after answering. Just for hosting multiple https sites you wouldn't need more than one server though. It's perfectly ok to have one server with multiple IP addresses and bind each of the addresses to its own ssl virtual host. The limit is the ip address (and possibly the hardware limitations imposed by your server(s)) You just have to find a hoster that provides multiple IPs per server. Mentioning multidomain https hosting is usually the reason they accept if they are in that business at all.
